Tucker Celebrates Summer with a Festival
Saturday's event is the first of its kind in town.
The Old Town Tucker Merchants' Association is rolling out yet another new event. This time it's a summer festival taking place on Main Street (where else?) this Saturday, July 28, starting at noon.
There will be live music, food, a professional sand castle demonstration, local celebrity dunk tank, and a bicycle show, among other things.
"The weather looks great for Saturday," organizer Jamey Wilson told Patch. "We have a great group of volunteers. Fun games with great prizes. Great music. The is doing beer and will have a few different kinds of frozen margaritas."
